Yizhou Huang (黄一舟) has been competing for a year. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 10.00, set at Hangzhou Winter 2025, puts him in the top 7.4% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 2,912th in China. Until May 2007, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 3 competitions since June 2025, he has put 56 official solves on the record across six events. His 3×3 best has come down from 14.04 in June 2025 to 10.00, a 29% improvement. Yizhou has entered three competitions, more competitions than 69% of everyone who has ever competed.

Reading this page: a single is one solve's time · an average is the middle three of five solves, best and worst discarded · a PB is a personal best · a DNF (did not finish) is an attempt with no valid result: a popped piece, an unsolved face, an over-limit memorisation · top X% compares against everyone ever ranked in that event, which is fairer than raw rank because event pools differ tenfold.
